Simon Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

[00:03.35] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:07.50] I've come to talk with you again

[00:12.02] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:16.27] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:20.79] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:27.16] Still remains

[00:30.35] Within the sound of silence

[00:35.86] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:40.39] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:44.64] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:48.89] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:53.40] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[00:59.50] That split the night

[01:02.69] And touched the sound of silence

[01:07.90] And in the naked light I saw

[01:12.42] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:16.67] People talking without speaking

[01:21.18] People hearing without listening

[01:25.44] People writing songs that voices never share

[01:32.88] No one dared

[01:36.07] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:41.37] "Fools" said I, "You do not know

[01:45.62] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:49.61] Hear my words that I might teach you

[01:53.85] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[01:58.11] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[02:07.31] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:13.70] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:17.96] To the neon god they made

[02:21.94] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:26.18] In the words that it was forming

[02:30.44] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

[02:34.33] Are written on the subway walls

[02:37.78] And tenement halls

[02:40.44] And whispered in the sounds of silence"
